From Friend to Fiancé

This one was terrible and truly unbelievable. How, oh how, can two of the bestest of best friends be such best friends that one can be in a relationship long enough to propose - while the other has no clue what's going on? No idea! What? No. That was just one of the many puzzling choices that went into this movie. Besides a major lack of chemistry and intimacy that would be between two of the bestest of friends who each secretly loved the other. There are better, so, take a pass on this one.

Surprising is to not can be very critic about this Hallmark film. In my case, the main virtue of it remains the tree house .And the cake. And the realistic story of friendship, preserving the scent of memories from childhood. The second good point is the fine chemistry between Jocelyn Hudon and Ryan Paevey. Not the last, the nice job of charming Derek McGrath. And , sure, the way to reflect the motives of the relation between main characters.

It is a beautiful film for emotion , first.

So, just a very good surprise.

Here's the thing.. I liked Jess and Ted and I love the actors that portrayed them. But this story/script would have been of more use to me if I set it on fire to light kindling in my fireplace. Real talk. I should have known when I paused it an hour in and got distracted by TikTok and YouTube for an entire hour before I remembered I was watching this. True story. I know Hallmark's formula is to wait until the last moment and 99% of the time I'm totally on board with that. But this was unacceptable. I didn't watch a romance. I watched a friendship, a sham of something that was supposed to resemble a relationship, then a 10 second flash forward clip of what we should have been watching for at least the last 30 minutes of runtime, if not the last hour of runtime. This movie is an absolute joke. And I love for their to be some actual conflict in Hallmark movies but this movie overplayed its hand. Fire whoever wrote it. Ugh. I should've hard passed on this one. Regrets.

I liked all the characters--the three leads, in particular, but also the older adults that added to the story. Surprising to see so many disappointed reviews. This is Hallmark Movies! They assure me that romance & love is going to win. And the actors were good, the chemistry was right where it needed to be, and it was just nice! I like the "feel good" it gave me!

Despite the other reviews, it's a cute movie. Hallmark movies aren't for provoking serious thought and everyone that watches these types of movies knows this. We know we are getting a happy ending in some form or another. That's why we watch these movies. There is no risk of being let down. That being said, there is not much chemistry between the wife to be and the lead Male. That part isnt very believable but if it were, we wouldn't want them to not work out, now would we? Anyway, it's a lighthearted movie and the lead female is adorable. It's worth a watch!
